What is UV Printing on correx boards

UV Flatbed printing is the reproduction of digital images, typically on plastic and a wide variety of materials such as acrylics, foam board, ABS plastic, glass and wood. Printing with a flatbed printer onto correx boards is slowly replacing the silk screen system used before, for various reasons. UV Flatbed printers use inks made of acrylic monomers that are then exposed to strong UV-light to cure, or polymerize them.

This process allows for printing on a wide variety of surfaces such as wood or metal, carpet, tile, and even glass. The adjustable print head makes it possible to print on surfaces ranging in thickness from a sheet of paper often up to as much as 100 mm. Typically used for commercial applications (retail and event signage), flatbed printing is often a substitute for screen-printing. Since no printing plates or silkscreens must be produced, digital printing technology allows shorter runs of signs to be produced economically.
